With over a decade of experience in the Bristol market, we saw an opportunity and a need for vast improvements in the lettings industry and strive to set a higher standard for both landlords and tenants. We offer services across all things residential lettings, from rent collection to full property management. Whether you’re letting an apartment in central Bristol, a room in a house share or a student property, we have expertise across each area and that along with our core focus of offering the finest level of service, has meant we’re growing rapidly. There are some agents out there who will go above and beyond for their landlords, but we recognise that there are two important parties in successfully letting a property, a landlord AND a tenant. We’ve been tenants ourselves and to put it mildly it’s easy to feel disposable in a Bristol lettings market that is extremely buoyant.

Lucie Vox
Property Manager
Lucie has had an incredibly varied career prior to joining the Balloon Letting Co family. She’s done it all, from being the lead singer in rock bands to getting qualified as an accountant and account manager. She brings an enormous skill set and a level head to the team and will always be on hand for our managed landlords and tenants.

Hannah Doyle
Finance Manager
Hannah has always been a huge overachiever academically and continued that trend, recently becoming a chartered accountant in her early twenties. We’re now lucky to have her oversee all of our accounting operations. She is an asset we couldn’t usually afford had she not (for some reason?) agreed to marry Ben in October 2020.

Paul Rhodes

Paul bought, renovated and sold his first property investment at the age of 23 and has been in love with the industry ever since. He’s always been very hands on with his projects and has brought that hands on approach to the maintenance team at BLC. He will be there for all of our managed landlords and tenants.
